NEW YORK, March 26-Favors at dinners this
season have been most costly and elegant, no ex-
pense apparently being spared by ambitious
housekeepers to have something their tables
that has not been seen anywhere else and the
more eccentric or grotesque the form in which
their desire shows itself the more satisfactory,
doubtless, it is to the mind of the originator.
Whether display of this sort be in questionable
taste or not is subject open to discussion. At
a dinner given in this city few weeks ago,
satin banjos, exqrisitely hand painted in water
colors and mounted in solid silver, were placed
beside the corsage bouquet at each adys plate.
Silver toilet articles, desk implements and cat
collars continue TO be the rage. The
dressing bureau that does not exhibit
at least half dozen pieces artistically
spread out upon a cover OF plush. generally deep
red or sapphire blue, is decidedly behind the
times. The plush must also be lined with yel-
lew surah, filled with violet sachet powaer-nO
common rose or patchonly and edged with lace.
Imitation In any form is Justly considered vul
gar. hence silver plate and German silver take
their place beside French gold and Partisan da-
monds. The silver brushes. combs, trays and
boxes in beautiful repousse designs cert>inly
make an effective foreground to a woman's toilet
mirror. but they are exceedingly costly, and are
troublesome to keep clean. One of the latest
pieces manufactured by a leading New York
Arm is a mucilage bottle destined to be added to
the paraphernaa of fashionable writing desk
The bottle ia of glass, pear shaped, the stem OF
silver, with TWO pendent leaves forming the
cover, to which the brush is attached The bot
tie stands upon tiny silver dish, and the whole
can be purchased for the modest sum of $40.

which there is moro OF triumph than of fun. she
withdraws her hand and extends it to her lover,
throwing her shoulders still further back At the
same moment; and as he holds her hand for an
instant she looks up at him fearlessly under her
brows. still smiling and still biting at the rose
stem. There is no hanging of the head to one
side in Bernhardts acting; it is always forwards
or backwards. And / cannot remember that in
the entire play of 'Frou-Frou" she shrugged her
shoulders once--a gesture much affected, and
often cleverly, by actresses playing similar roles
